He also took the opportunity to surprise the former “Today” co-host Hall with the announcement of her new deal at ID. Hall hosted “Deadline Crime” for the network from 2013 till 2017, when her contract ended.

A spokesperson for Investigation Discovery told Page Six: “It’s a new deal and the show will be in the same vein as ‘Deadline Crime.’ She’ll be taping all new episodes. The show will start filming this year for an air-date in 2019.”
